This is a “feel good” week for the Opticians Handbook. Sharing these three articles this week made me feel good as well.

I’m very proud to announce that one of our Contributing Editor alumni, Barry Santini, was named Optician of the Year by the Society to Advance Opticianry.

Giving back to your community and others is good for your soul and can also be good for your business.

Opticians Handbook is happy to share another example of a socially responsible independent optical frame business that is giving back to children in Flint, Michigan. Check out this weeks Doing Good article on Article One Eyewear.

We missed it by a week, but it is too important to overlook - National Paraoptometric Week! Our Contributing Editor Linda Hardy gives us ideas that can wait until next year - or I say just celebrate and appreciate the people around you at any time.

I’m off to attend Opticon in Orlando, Florida. I hope to see you there.
